This episode comes straight out of a real-life meeting at Confluence.Something became unmistakably clear to me there — what it looks like when a community forms organically. Not managed. Not engineered. Not pushed into existence.But something that actually converges.Confluence itself is a living example of this. You can feel the difference when you’re in it. People aren’t being organized… they’re finding each other.And that stands in sharp contrast to so many of the movements we see today — built, structured, and directed from the outside in.How Do You Know the Difference?There’s a real distinction between:something that’s growingand something that’s being assembledIn this episode, we’ll look at how to recognize that difference in real time.Because it’s not always obvious… especially when engineered movements borrow the language and appearance of something real.Why Convergence Matters NowOrganic convergence may be the most important thing we can be doing right now.You can't force and engineer connection or put people into structures.But allowing something real to form through clarity, resonance, and shared seeing, that's where the real magic happens.Special Guest: Dawn LesterI’m joined by Dawn Lester, who I had the pleasure of meeting in person at Confluence. Here's our cosmic and unexpected meeting in the San Antonio airport!!Dawn is a master at understanding how things actually come together. She's best known for her writing and research in the alternative health arenas, but she has a gift for convergence — growing community through truth and alignment.In this episode we’ll explore:what she sees about real vs engineered communityhow convergence happens (and how it doesn’t)and what makes something hold without being forcedIt's subtle and easy to miss… until you see it and can't un-see it.ConvergeIt's what happens naturally and organically. How can we not interfere with it?Join us live to find out and be part of the conversation.The End of the False Self Course: https://www.bethmartens.com/the-end-of-the-false-selfDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-course ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspired
